Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her small jewelry store, surrounded by all kinds of bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

However, business has been less than satisfactory recently, with few customers and meager revenue.

Zhou Wanwan was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

One day, she accidentally saw pictures of southern potatoes on the Internet. Those round and cute little potatoes caught her eye.

She wondered, if she incorporated the shape of these small potatoes into the bracelet design, would it attract more customers?

Just as she was immersed in this thought, her best friend Qianqian pushed the door open.

Qianqian is a lively and cheerful girl who always brings a lot of inspiration to Zhou Wanwan.

"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Qianqian asked with a smile, picking up a bracelet and looking at it.

"I wonder if there would be a market for bracelets made in the shape of small potatoes."

Zhou Wanwan answered, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Qianqian's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Little potatoes? That's a good idea! But the shape alone is not enough, you have to give them some special meaning."

"Special meaning?" Zhou Wanwan looked at Qianqian puzzledly.

“Yes, for example, give each little potato a different expression, so that each bracelet has its own story.”

Qianqian said excitedly, "You can design a smiling potato, a crying potato, an angry potato... Each expression can represent a mood, so that when customers wear the bracelet, they can feel different emotions."

Zhou Wanwan listened attentively. She thought Qianqian's suggestion was very creative.

So she decided to give it a try.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan began to design little potato bracelets with various expressions.

She first used polymer clay to shape a small potato, and then carefully carved various expressions on it.

A smiling potato looks particularly cute, a crying potato makes people feel pity, and an angry potato has a hint of playfulness.

When she placed these bracelets in the window, they really attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Some people stopped to watch, and some even walked into the store to ask about the prices.

Zhou Wanwan was secretly happy, she felt that her business had finally turned around.

However, while the small potato bracelets attracted some customers, sales were not as good as she had expected.

Zhou Wanwan began to feel a little frustrated. She didn't understand why her designs were not recognized by the market.

At this time, Qianqian came again. Seeing Zhou Wanwan's worried look, she asked, "Wanwan, what's wrong? Is the bracelet not selling well?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Yes, although it attracted some customers, the sales volume is still not ideal."

Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because your bracelet is too simple. You can try to combine little potatoes with different expressions to design more diverse styles."

"For example, a bracelet could have a smiling potato and a crying potato, representing the joys and sorrows in life; or an angry potato and a smiling potato, representing the conflicts and reconciliations in life."

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan thought this suggestion made sense.

So she began to try to combine potatoes with different expressions to design more diverse bracelets.

Sure enough, these newly designed bracelets soon attracted more customers.

Some people like the combination of smiling and crying, while others like the combination of being angry and smiling.

Each bracelet has become a small story. When customers put on the bracelets, it seems as if they are also wearing their own moods.

Zhou Wanwan's business gradually improved and her store became bustling.

She was grateful for Qianqian's advice, and at the same time, she was pleased with her own persistence.

However, just when she thought everything was going well, an unexpected news broke her peace.

One day, Qianqian rushed into the store and said palely, "Wanwan, I heard that a big company is also designing similar little potato bracelets. They are going to launch a series, and the price is much lower than yours."

Zhou Wanwan felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she heard this.

She knew that if that company really launched a similar product, her business would likely take a big hit.

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Wanwan asked anxiously.

Qianqian frowned, thought for a while, and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We can try to do some special activities, such as holding a bracelet design competition and inviting customers to participate in the design. This will not only increase customers' sense of participation, but also enhance our brand awareness."

Zhou Wanwan thought this was a good idea, so they started planning the event.

They posted the event information on social media, inviting customers to participate in the design and promising that the winners would receive generous prizes.

As soon as the activity was launched, it immediately attracted widespread attention.

Many customers have contributed their designs and created various unique little potato bracelets.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian selected the best designs, made them into physical objects, and displayed them in the store.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the store, holding the news brought by Qianqian in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that in the face of competition from larger companies, she had to make some changes to keep her business.

Just as she was lost in thought, the door of the shop was gently pushed open and a familiar figure walked in.

"Wanwan, are you okay?"

Master Zhongshan has a gentle but powerful voice. He is a famous jewelry designer and Zhou Wanwan's teacher.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and saw Master Zhongshan's concerned eyes, and her heart warmed.
